[QUOTE="The Green Wanderer, post: 160133, member: 784"] Gday y4k, it all comes down to what you want to find and what type of ground your on? Are you hunting gold or gemstones? What type of process are you using: pan, sluice, high banker, dry blower etc? And finally what sort of soil you have to work with: sand, gravel, slate or shale, topsoil, stony riverbed, mud or wet/ dry clay beds? If you are a gem hunter, probably a 1inch through to 1/4 inch set will do. Though some gem specimens can get quite small and you may need to go down to 1/8th or 1/16 inch. As an alluvial prospector myself I use mainly my 1/2 and 1/4inch to grade down gravel then a fine 1/20th to seperate the very finest sands. If you have some more info on the method your using and the ground you have to work I can probably help a little more. Cheers, TGW [/QUOTE]
